Hello all! Have been learning alot from your experiences so far, but I'm hoping to get more specific information from the moms out there. I am heartened to see how many gals have kept riding through pregnancies and i'm ready to join the ranks!

I am 2 months pregnant and continuing my training and riding as I am used to, but I am wondering about fuel for long rides. I usually use Hammer Heed and gels in addition to something solid like Luna Bars. My doctor has said no to Hammer heed and gel, citing the fact that they are not FDA approved.
I've written to Hammer about it, and they were very open in saying that they meet FDA requirements though they are not regulated, and have no data saying whether or not Hammer supplements are safe to use during pregnancy. They can only say which supplements they know for sure are not safe (and I don't use any of those).

Does anyone know of an electrolyte drink and an energy gel/bar/chew that is safe? Has anyone experience with working out a specific fueling plan for pregnancy? I do not wish to risk my baby's health, but I want to do my research before suffering through plain water and whole foods on long rides!
Thanks in advance!
